What is Kiwi?

Kiwis are a small, green fruit that can be enjoyed in various ways. These fruits are popular to use frozen, dried, or fresh. In addition, they can be combined with other fruits to create a refreshing dessert or snack.

Kiwis are packed with nutrients, which is what makes them so healthy. They include plenty of vitamins and minerals, including:

  • Calcium
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin E
  • Vitamin K
  • Magnesium
  • Vitamin A
  • Folate

Not only are kiwis packed with nutrition, but they carry many health benefits, too! They’re said to improve asthma and other respiratory problems, help digestion, lower blood pressure, improve heart health, and more.

But are kiwis OK for dogs to eat? Can kiwi make a dog sick?

Kiwi & Dogs

Kiwis can be enjoyed by dogs; however, they can be dangerous if eaten whole. A whole kiwi could become lodged in a dog’s throat, blocking his airways. So, if you share a kiwi with your canine companion, be sure to cut off a small bite that your dog can easily swallow.

Another problem a kiwi could cause is diarrhea. The outer skin of the kiwi is tough and contains high levels of fiber. Fiber is great because it helps food pass through quickly in the intestines. It can also relieve constipation. However, if a dog has too much fiber, there’s a high probability he could develop some serious diarrhea. For this reason, be sure to remove the skin of the kiwi before sharing the fruit with your dog.

While kiwis are healthy for humans, you won’t get the same health benefits from eating this fruit. That’s because dogs have different nutritional needs than we do. Having said that, it’s OK to share a little bit of kiwi with your fur baby once in a while. Think of kiwi as a healthy, rare treat for your dog.

One more note—it’s always best to check with your vet before sharing a new food with your dog. This is because some dogs can be sensitive or even allergic to some foods. This way, you can avoid causing a digestive problem or an allergic reaction when sharing food with your dog!
